When you are young
What do you know of old age?
Then life is at a high noon.
But old age comes
It comes with loss.
Your heart begins to weaken
Your breath becomes quite short
Your muscles are not strong anymore
Even walking the dog is a tiring chore
And the days at the sea are no longer fun
Life often seems sad bleak and without sun.
Sleep and prayer offer some relief
But I can often can hear these words
“Enough is enough of this grief”
My mind sometimes says to me,
“I’m too young to be old”
But my body says, “you’ll see.”
So, I do what I can
Usually pushing for more
I regulate the days to spend
Most time with art and garden friend
I breathe in God with every move
Sending out blessings of deliverance to all
For all the good I still can do until I go.
Every stomach should be bounteous with food.
Acceptance should be ingrained and subdued.
With terrorism demise, may Humanity prevail?
Embrace peace through embracing humanity tale.
To prevent skirmish, refrain from criticizing people.
A firmer grasp of one another's emphases feeble.
We are wholly identical, as the stars are plenty.
Every one of us is a word of God's adoration subtly.
The leading light sustains a quieting impact on stream.
A stirring fire saturated with affection haunt a dream.
There will be no conflicts and there will be harmony.
Faith in self-denial and the ascent of antagonism utterly
God fills us with serenity in a variety of ways.
His affection lights our nights and plugs our days.
Realizing my loved ones are fine and protected.
Thankfulness and kindness overflow in the blood.
A profound inner calm that no one can charter away.
Even mankind's hope is clung alive the deep way.

My arms feel so empty,
They feel as if they are weak,
They long to embrace your warmth,
Your touch is all that I seek.
My heart aches at the emptiness I feel,
My body loses strength, it feels so frail,
The thought of you brings me to tears,
But my heart, it longs to hold you so close and so near.
I want you girl,
I want you in my arms,
I want to hold you close,
And to pull you closer to my heart.
Lay your head,
Lay it upon my chest,
Feel and listen to my heart,
And listen to what it says.
Its beats to your name,
It beats to love,
Its beats for you,
Forever and beyond.
Endless sorrow,
Heart feels hollow,
Stress increases,
Happiness decreases.
The drag of despair,
The feeling of care,
The two are not the same.
Despair is a savage beast to tame.
Care is an angel sent to take the shame.
My heart melts as I stand in the rain.
In this life I have taken my limit in pain.
I know there will be more as I go.
Death approaches he is my foe.
What do I do? Where do I run?
Nothing to do, nowhere to run my life is done.
Dark consumes my heart.
Deep down a light starts.
The light starts because someone comes along.
She tells you in this world you belong.
You have done great deeds.
Many people claim that you are the person they need.
You realize you have to fight.
You stand up and you force away death with a strike.
Your heart is weakening that is a fact.
Just make sure you never give up and always fight back.
It is just another day,
dreams are just flowing away,
there's nothing much to say,
For this shall be the way...
I am just a prisoner of life,
behind bars of fate and destiny,
Trying hard to soar and strive,
I just want to end this journey.
I'm trying hard to hold on,
But things just seems so wrong,
The past are now far gone,
And the journey ahead is forlorn...
I pray, i could be stable and strong,
the ability to differentiate right from wrong,
and i pray that my fear would far be gone,
and my heart no longer shattered and torn...
